Master Headline Creation In 3 Easy Steps!

I want you to succeed, and headline creation is one of things you need to learn to make money online.

So, after repeated requests, I’m going to break it down for you step by step as together we create a headline that grabs reader and demands they read more.

To do this, I’m going to present you with a fictitious product. It’s called “Copywriter’s Companion”, and it will teach people how to write better copy.

Now, first step in beginning to write a headline is know your product’s biggest benefit. “Copywriter’s Companion” teaches a person how to write sales letters that get huge responses. So, that would be our biggest advantage.

But I’m sure there’s more to this manual and your product then just one simple benefit. And our next job is to create a list of every benefit we can come up with. Start writing and just run on, even if some don’t make that much sense or are general. We can discard as we move on.

Here’s how my list turned out:

Teaches how to write to sell Saves time Can learn to make money as a copywriter Will be able to sell more and make more money I offer book for less than hiring a copywriter Never turn out bad sales letters again

Now you’ll notice in my list that it is mainly made up of promises, and that’s no mistake. But more on that in a moment.

So, you have a list of benefits. Some pretty weak, some that really grab at you.

You now need to spend a little time developing some of your weak benefits. If you can’t develop them into something stronger than trash them. A headline is too short for words and benefits that don’t pull their weight.

Next, we begin to construct out headline into a sentence or two that will give reader biggest benefits.

Basically, we’re just stringing words together at this point. We want to get a rough form of our headline together that gives benefits. Worry about nothing else at this point.

Here’s headline I came up with:

“Copywriter’s Companion is a manual of time saving tips that show how copywriters do it and get paid a lot of money”.

I know, pretty horrible. I don’t usually write that poor of a headline. But I did it so I can teach you how headline creation works.

Anyway, we have rough headline. Not very exciting. But still, I see a ton of headlines of this type that dot Internet landscape. And we both know a headline like that isn’t going to cut it. While “Copywriter’s Companion” is a fine fictitious product, headline I just wrote sheds no light on its true worth.

10 Successful Strategies For Profitable Sales Letters

Written by Grady Smith

1) Start with a headline. Right up front give your products strongest benefit. Make a promise in your headline, and then explain how promise and benefits work to customers potential in body of your sales letter.

2) Tell a story. Give a little of yourself in your sales presentation. Let reader know you, your hopes and dreams. Share disappointments you encountered along way, and divulge how you overcame them. Nothing endears a reader and turns them into a customer quicker than knowing who they’re handing their money to.

3) Sell your product hard. Grab your products best benefits and assemble them into easy to skim exciting mini bulleted headlines. I’ve often purchased products online after reading first three benefits and seeing one or two I need.

4) Give reader something to think about. Present them with questions that keep them interested and make them think. “Are you ready to take your business to next level”? “Are you willing to invest in your financial future?” “Can you really afford to walk away from this offer”?

5) Sell your product with confidence. Assume that anyone with any sense is going to buy your product. Use phrases like “With your order today.” This is an assumptive phrase. Everyone wants to act like they know what’s going on, and some will even feel wrong not having product because your sales letter presents it like there’s no other option for them.
